Wikipedia has a new initiative called WikiProject AI Cleanup. It is a task force of volunteers currently combing through Wikipedia articles, editing or removing false information that appears to have been posted by people using generative AI.

Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of the cleanup crew, told 404 Media that the crisis began when Wikipedia editors and users began seeing passages that were unmistakably written by a chatbot of some kind.

    Good call, thank you.

    Also: Referencing Wikipedia in this context is kinda funny.

      I did think that. :) It’s just… So good. I hope it never enshitifies. God help us.
